We compute the local rate of events similar to GRB 170817A, which has been recently found to be associated with a kilonova (KN) outburst. Our analysis finds an observed rate of such events of RKN~352+810-281 Gpc-3¿yr-1. After comparing at their face values this density of sGRB outbursts with the much higher density of binary neutron star (BNS) mergers of 1540+3200-1220 Gpc-3¿yr-1, estimated by LIGO–Virgo collaboration, one can conclude, admittedly with large uncertainty that either only a minor fraction of BNS mergers produces short gamma-ray bursts (sGRB)/KN events or the sGRBs associated with BNS mergers are beamed and observable under viewing angles as large as ¿ ¿ 40°. Finally, we provide preliminary estimates of the number of sGRB/KN e...
